Less modding is better modding...
 
I wanted to reply to this thread but it was immediately locked: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...e=0#Post9827623

I think letting discussion move into a new thread when a new angle to a story comes out is much better than posting in an older thread. Is it really so horrible to have *gasp* a couple threads about different elements of a current events story which many are claiming could be a launching point to more substantial military action? I don't see why very long threads which weave through many elements of a world situation are the preferred alternative.

Politics is not a real forum.

Its because people like to talk about other topics besides the "hostage" crisis. There are three active threads on that topic and 8 or nine regarding the middle east. The reason I locked the thread you linked is because that post has bearing on the other threads and I would like to keep space on the first page for other topics.

Every new thread in politics right now is Middle East, AC, or presidential campaign. Of these 3 topics, only the Middle East threads, and specifically the one you locked, are bringing any new news material to the forum, rather than rehashing the same old topics in less novel ways. Is there some majority of posters who are confused and overwhelmed by 8 or 9 simultaneously active discussions in one forum?

And, every forum on this site rehashes its own series of topics over and over again -- why? because those are the things the posters of those forums are obviously interested in talking about. Why do mods try to overmoderate to prevent the people from discussing what they want to discuss? This was the thrust of my post here.

Hey, so I heard this new rhetorical device called "sarcasm" has made its way to the internet. Apparently its primary effect is to make its user feel superior to those around him. It's a developing story, so I'll keep you posted if I see any.

You registered 5 days ago, and already you are complaining about the modding in Politics. I predict big things from this account in the future.

Moderators can't clean out all the crap in the Politics forum, but they can scoop it into piles.

Please try to put it in a separate thread though, as this one is getting too long and intricate.

His diatribe about the "British Kamikaze pilots" definitely seemed a little familiar.

He's not subtle enough to be Cyrus, and I can't think of anyone else who was recently permabanned.
